You can filter this further to specific categories of content, based on sectors you cover, countries you track, analysts you follow, products you invest in.

Sell-Side

As a Bank you have incredible influence in the markets, and with your clients. A lot of this influence is driven through your research, market commentary and market colour.

On the Connect2 platforms you can target your content at your clients, in a way that other platforms don’t achieve. The clients on the platform are pre-qualified, you enable them, they only see what they ask for and you can understand what of your output is being successful with which clients.

Sign up, for free, to the Connect2 platform, and deliver your selected Research content to your selected clients.

Optional services allow you to connect Connect to your internal platforms including CRM, Single Dealer Platforms and internal usage of content.

Independent Research

As a company we have worked with EuroIRP and Investorside over several years, and consequently many independent research providers. We do fully understand the issue of providing research, without it getting lost in this competitive landscape and being paid for it.

With the Connect2 platform you can provide research to everyone as sample research, and ensure that your premium content only gets to those clients who are your customers so you can grow your subscribers by marketing to fully qualified users.

Connect2 is an excellent marketplace for your content, in that you provide quality free content, everyone sees, and then gain more paying clients as your content becomes better know.

Trading Venue

In the unbundling space, your competitors are already marching on with add-on research platforms to their trading platforms.

Bloomberg have an Independent Research offering, and NASDAQ have the Interactive Brokers offering. Connect2 is a direct alternative to these platforms, that for a flat monthly fee, adds content from major banks and independent research houses, and a number of high quality news providers, to your platform.

They retain their client controls, but if the clients have access to the content, they don’t need to leave your platform to view it.

IOI / Axes Consolidator

The move from Natural to Actionable IOI and Axes in the markets is increasingly critical.

Using Connect2, you can link in Research, Market Commentary, and Trade Ideas, that are not only a part of your platforms, but actionable on other connected platforms or on direct connections to Banks own single dealer platforms.

Driving the industry to a more transparent ability to execute large size is what the market and the regulators want. Using Connect2 to deliver quality content, that links to your and trading venues or direct connections, is a big step in this direction.

Sell-side offer internal research, with their-party providers content, on a single dealer platform. Utilising the white-label capabilities of Connect, link to your own platform and we can enable the execution of trade ideas directly to your platforms API.
